Lignieres Race 3 - Conseil Departmental Du Cher Stakes
BLACK DU MORVAN (9) profiles well on paper representing the Alain Couetil stable and being a four-year-old filly by Al Wukair from Martha Jane rates a likely player first up. ISI DORA (13) receives a good low draw and the trainer is operating in strong form (24% winning strike rate for their last fifty runners). Makes appeal. HAKAMAORI (12) is a daughter of Pour Moi. Warrants a market check. LOVEROSE (10) could be another newcomer of note. Those with previous experience that might factor include ZYMEK (1) who produced a good 3.5L third over 3200m at a country track last April two runs back. Improvement expected.

Second run back. First-up after three months didn't finish the race at Toulouse February 17 over 3500m. Previously second-up 7th of 12 at Nancy on November 16 over 3000m, 10 len behind Rue De Savoie carrying 63kg. Best figures read well so worth following.
